It was a good expierence, Just let me give to future voyagers some tips.
1) As most of the people in the tours are chinese, most of the locations they stop for eating or standard hotels for staying are for chinesse people. be sure to watch what are offering the chinesse buffet before eating on them.
2) if you paid extra for hotel be sure you get the hotels you have paid for. I was transfered to Lincoln Plaza instead of Crown Plaza and definitely it was not Crown Plaza level (crown Plaza was sold out they told me)
The places we have visited were nice but sometimes we couldn't stay enough time to know them better.
I hope these tips be useful

In overall tour was great. Changing tour guides was a bit confusing, but also an interesting experience. Everything was arranged perfectly, very clear communication and good hotels choice. Good solid trip.
